What I Love To Do
I love to sit at the intersection of marketing and building a product on the web that is simple, elegant, and provides value to a user. I like to identify problems way before solutions, and make the world a better place through technology. I’m usually in more of a business/marketing role, but I love to get my hands dirty in actual code, infrastructure, and design. You can usually find me on Hacker News.
